mitt romney is a car guy. let me tell you about the mitt romney i know. this is a guy two i was talking to a family in massachusetts the other day. cheryl and mark nixon. their kids were hit in a car crash, four of them, two of them, rob and reed, were paralyzed. the romneys didn't know them. they went to the same church, they never met before. mitt asked if he would come over for christmas. he brought his wife and boys and gifts and later said, i know you're struggling, mark. don't worry about their college, i'll pay for it. when mark told me this story, he said it wasn't the cash lp. it's that he gave his time and he has consistently. this is a man who gave 30% of his income to charity, more than the two of us combined. mitt romney cares about 100% of americans in this country. with respect to that quote, i think the vice president knows that words sometimes don't come out of your mouth the right way. >> but i always say what i mean. and so does romney. >> we want everybody to succeed. we want to get people out of poverty. we believe in opportunity. tha

romney has a few such people. he has john bolton. but if you look at robert zoellick, richard haus, richard armitage, paul wolfowitz, none of them seem centrally involved. and what these insiders tell me is that it shows. that romney does not have the kind of senior, serious people who would tell him, for example, when you're going to london, never say anything even remotely critical of them. for example, when you go to poland, don't make a polish joke. when you go to israel -- you want to be as bland as possible so that the focus just on how statesman like you are. >> let's talk about americans here. let me throw up this number. nbc "wall street journal" poll. they prefer president obama over mitt romney when it comes to foreign policy, but when you sort of look at the rest of the world, and i know that's your focus each and every sunday morning, i keep thinking back, i remember the pictures in 2008. president obama, you know, he takes his trip abroad. you see the crowds. this was berlin. so, clearly the president is popular abroad,

he's pulled out all the stops for romney. an issue we've been hearing about a lot here is whether english should be required to be the general language most people speak before puerto rico is permitted to become a state. yesterday mitt romney said he didn't think there should be any precursors. sant santorum charged that mitt romney's campaign was pandering. romney's response was we've had that for a while now. >> thank you so much. "your bottom line" starts right now.
